I love spinach. Even as a kid, I used to eat them without making a fuzz, my mom still says. May be because of my mom's spinach recipe. But who cares, I love something healthy! Can you believe it? For a person who loves to roll in chocolates and Ice creams, this is something unusual. But, hey I naturally love Spinach! God's gift! Who else is with me? Who else love spinach like me? C'mon there must be someone to give me company!

There are a lot of varieties to try with spinach. For example, Palak dal, Keera vadai (Spinach fritters), Spinach curry. And I also came to know that organic spinach are good for health. Recently I came across a Mexican recipe for Spinach rice. As usual, I added few Indian spices and turned it to an Indian recipe! It has become very easy for me now-a-days to convert a recipe to Indian. Thanks to coriander and cumin powder!

I see many people converting to vegetarian now-a-days. I am happy! I am a born vegetarian. But now, I have started to eat eggs for some medical reasons, but still I call my self a vegetarian. Eggs are vegetarian for me. I know true vegans and vegetarians won't agree but then, I love eggs and I love to call myself vegetarian. So what do you guys say? Are Eggs vegetarian? Absolutely not vegan!

With no further adieu, here is the Spinach Rice recipe which I bet all the vegan and vegetarian lovers would vote for.

I was expecting some green colored rice when I saw the heading for the post... rice looks delicious. I was a little lazy today after the cleaning and poojai . I was therefore wondering what to cook today. I have some spinach so will try your version.

This is my easy last minute lunch that I cook up most of the days. I add mushrooms though, and they are wonderful. Frozen spinach are a great thing to stock up on... I dont know if eggs are vegetarian or not, but I eat them! :)
